Tom Brady: Fashion’s Gordon Gekko

TB: Dan. What’s with the tuck? You’re so tightly wrapped, I could drop a quarter on your belly and it would boomarang back. No one tucks, Dan. That was last century.

DK: Huh? Wha…?

TOM BRADY: And a white oxford? Dan, I’ve said this before: You need something slimming. White is not slimming.

DK: Geez, I thought I looked clean and neat. Doesn’t this say I’m a good guy? That I’m trustworthy and dependable?

TB: Black, for lack of a better word, is good. Black is right. Black works. White? Well, white and khaki … khaki is for wimps.

DK: Oh. Um. Uhhh, … geez.

TB: You could’ve been one of the great ones, Dan. I look at you and see … well, I don’t see myself. I mean, honestly, no way you could reach that level. But, you know, if you clean up, what’s Sean Avery got that you don’t?

TB: I GAVE you an Audi Q7 SUV! I GAVE you a chance to shine! I gave you EVERYTHING! A White oxford tucked into khaki chinos AND A BLACK BELT? — I open the door for you and THIS is how you pay me back?

DK: I don’t know. I guess I’m just an offensive lineman. As much as I want to be Tom Brady, I’ll always be just an offensive lineman.

TB: It’s all about looking good, kid. The rest is conversation.

Symphony Royale

Now the next James Bond installment, Spectre, is on the horizon. So what better way to get jazzed up (See what I did there?) about Bond 24 than to check out the San Francisco Symphony’s “The Spy Who Loved Me: Music from the Bond Films & Favorite Spy Movie Themes,” featuring Sheena Easton, who performed the theme from Bond 12, “For Your Eyes Only” (which hit #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1981).

My Day at Cypress Point

Golf Digest ranks the Top 100 Courses in the World, and #2, repeatedly, is Cypress Point in Carmel, California (Augusta is #3 if that’s any indication). It’s private, with a very small membership, and golf geeks can argue over whether it is the toughest course to get onto in the country, or 2nd, or 3rd, but no one would argue that it’s really, really hard to get an invitation. A few months ago, I was invited to play, and a vacation 18 months overdue was postponed to accommodate the opportunity.

One Noisy Night Of San Francisco Music

How much music can fit into one night? That depends on how carefully you plan. Last Saturday I sampled some opera, jazz, and disco. It could have been rap, hardcore, and bluegrass, I suppose, but I was in the mood for opera, jazz, and disco. In that order. This is a recap of a night spent checking in on San Francisco’s musical grand buffet. At 5:30pm, I bought a standing room ticket for San Francisco Opera’s “Les Troyens” (The Trojans). Composer Hector Berlioz based the work on Virgil’s epic poem, “The Aeneid,” and the undertaking was so massive it had to be split into two separate operas, each with their own curtain call.

Sochi Style Wrap-Up

With the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi all wrapped up, we wanted to take a look back at the most impressive looks. (And we mean impressive in the dictionary sense of “to leave an impression.”) The looks are ranked from Gold to Did-Not-Finish. And if they look a little off-color, that’s because we use the bacon medal system, as imagined by American snowboarder Sage Kotsenburg…
